<p>Say You lived in Nebraska and you had multiple houses all over the nation. If you applied to a college in a state where you had a house, would you be considered an "in state applicant?"</p>
<p>HAHA. I like your first sentence. I would think so though. Is this your case? :)</p>
<p>I have that same question. I live in PA, but we used to live in NY and we still have a house there, as well as SC, and I really want to go to NYU.</p>
<p>You are in state by living there a certain length of time now, not in the past, so it is your current residence, history is irrelevant, it probably varies from state to state, maybe a year? Maybe six month? not sure, but look it up for each state</p>
<p>Do you live in the house in NY, cause if you don't and get caught, you are commiting fraud</p>
<p>I don't live there right now, but since we use to be an extended family, my aunt, uncle, and cousin stil live there, and it's a pretty big house, so... Also, I've been going there almost every summer.</p>
<p>Your residence is determined by the state your parents file their tax returns. </p>
<p>Ask your parents if you aren't sure.</p>
<p>NYU is not a state school! It cost the same no matter where you live. You are only in state in the state where you went to high school unless you went to boarding school, and then it's the state where your parents pay their taxes.</p>
<p>Then its Pa. Damn I hate PA.</p>
